ARTA has used every endeavour to ensure that the funding and expenditure figures are as accurate as possible at time of printing. As projects progress through the various stages of investigation, design, construction and delivery, cost and funding availability become more certain. There have been a number of changes over the last 12 months in the transport environment with the merger of Transit New Zealand and Land Transport New Zealand into the New Zealand Transport Agency, Government buy-back of the national rail network and establishment of KiwiRail. The impact of these changes, and the changes to Auckland governance, will have a determinant effect on this, and future Auckland Transport Plans. 1 List of Figures, Maps and Tables FIGURES Figure 1.

The Auckland Transport Plan (ATP) is the region’s flagship ten-year transport planning document. The success of Auckland, New Zealand’s major commercial centre and home to one third of New Zealand’s population, is vital to New Zealand’s long- term prospects. Transport strongly influences economic development. Good transport systems make it easy for people to access jobs and for goods to reach their markets.

Funding in such a small country is always an issue. Taking into consideration funding for the additional Waitemata Harbour Crossing, rail to the airport and the CBD rail tunnel projects, the total funding requirement could be in excess of $22 billion. 3 The continued success of Auckland, as New Zealand’s major commercial and population centre, and only city of international scale, is vital to New Zealand’s long-term prospects. To ensure this success, and the future wellbeing of the growing Auckland region, it is essential to plan and implement world-class transport infrastructure and services.

  • Fairfax/NZME – Response to Questions Arising from the Conference
    1 PUBLIC VERSION NZME AND FAIRFAX RESPONSE TO COMMERCE COMMISSION QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THE CONFERENCE ON 6 AND 7 DECEMBER 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. During its recent Conference held on 6 and 7 December 2016, the Commissioners asked the parties to follow up on a number of points. This paper sets out the parties' responses on those questions, and also provides answers to some further follow-up questions that the parties have received since the Conference. 2. The main points that this response covers are as follows: (a) Inefficient duplication of commodity news (external plurality): The Commissioners asked the parties to produce examples of "commodity" news coverage as between the five main media organisations being similar ("digger hits bridge" was provided as an example of where all the major media organisations covered effectively the same point). Reducing that duplication will be efficiency enhancing and will not materially detract from the volume or quality of news coverage. (b) A wide variety of perspectives are covered within each publication (internal plurality): The editors provided the Commission with examples of how each publication covers a wide variety of perspectives, as that is what attracts the greatest audience. This is true both within and across each of the parties' publications. The Commission asked for examples, which are provided in this response, together with additional material about why those incentives do not change post-Merger. (c) Constitutional safeguards on editorial independence: The Commissioners asked about what existing structures protected editorial independence and balance and fairness in reporting. This was asked both in the context of a possible future sale of Fairfax's stake, and in the context of the protections available to those subject to negative reporting seeking fairness and balance.

  • THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – Kainga Nga Ika Me Nga Wheua Katoa! Auckland – Where the Fish Are So Succulent You Can Eat Them Bones and All!
    THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – kainga nga ika me nga wheua katoa! Auckland – where the fish are so succulent you can eat them bones and all! This proverb alludes to the once abundant and sought after marine resources of Auckland’s waterfront. It signals Waterfront Auckland’s desire to create a sustainable waterfront providing for the current and future generations of Aucklanders. A place all Aucklanders can access the Waitemata Harbour for recreation, business or cultural practices. FOREWORD The waterfront has reignited Aucklander’s pride in their city. The pride and enthusiasm with which Aucklanders have embraced their new waterfront continues to amaze me. Although in its infancy, stage one of the redeveloped Wynyard Quarter and the expanse of Queens Wharf, attract people day after day, rain and shine. When Waterfront Auckland put forward its draft plans for the redevelopment of the whole waterfront last year we received hundreds of letters, emails and submissions. Most were hugely positive. “Just get on with it!” was the cry. Our job at Waterfront Auckland is to lead the momentum of the revitalisation, and of pride. Having listened to Aucklanders, we have refined our plans and here, we present a vision for how the waterfront could be redeveloped, how it can continue to create transformational change. We are living in an extraordinary time, perhaps unprecedented in recent history where opportunity is constrained and likely to remain so for some time to come. Our approach in these plans is to strike a balance that seizes opportunity while it is offering and continues to strive for a visionary outcome that our city and its people deserve.

  • History of Concrete Bridges in New Zealand
    HISTORY OF CONCRETE BRIDGES IN NEW ZEALAND JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1 Senior Associate, Beca Ltd 2 Technical Director, Beca Ltd SUMMARY Concrete is one of the most cost effective, durable and aesthetic construction materials and can provide many advantages over other materials. The history of bridge construction in New Zealand has proved that concrete is an excellent material for constructing bridges, and in particular bridges that use beams, columns and arches as the main load bearing elements. It is remarkable that New Zealand, as a remote country at the end of the Victorian period, made considerable early use of concrete in bridge construction. Kiwi engineers love new ideas and embrace new technologies. New Zealand bridge engineers, from the early days, were not afraid to take on the challenge of working with a new and innovative material. The first reinforced concrete bridge was built over the Waters of Leith in Dunedin in 1903. In 1910 the Grafton Bridge in Auckland became the world’s longest reinforced concrete arch bridge, 21 years later the Kelburn Viaduct was built in Wellington. Taranaki was especially forward-looking in using concrete arch bridges and has many fine examples. In 1954 another major development occurred when the Hutt Estuary Bridge used post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete for the first time in New Zealand. This led to the construction of New Zealand’s first pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge on the Wanganui Motorway in 1962. Pre-stressed concrete made slim and elegant construction possible, like the 1987 Hāpuawhenua Viaduct on the North Island Main Trunk railway line.

  • Auckland Transport Alignment Project April 2018
    Auckland Transport Alignment Project April 2018 Foreword I welcome the advice provided by the Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP). The ATAP package is a transformative transport programme. Investment in transport shapes our city’s development and is a key contributor to economic, social and environmental goals. The direction signalled in this update is shared by Government and Auckland Council and demonstrates our commitment to working together for a better Auckland. Auckland is facing unprecedented population growth, and over the next 30 years a million more people will call Auckland home. Growth brings opportunities but when combined with historic under- investment in infrastructure the strain on the Auckland transport system is unrelenting. Existing congestion on our roads costs New Zealand’s economy $1.3b annually. We need to do things differently to what has been done in the past. Auckland needs a transport system that provides genuine choice for people, enables access to opportunities, achieves safety, health and environmental outcomes and underpins economic development. Our aspiration must be to make sure Auckland is a world class city. Auckland’s success is important not just for Aucklanders, but for our country’s long-term growth and productivity. The Government and Auckland Council have agreed to a transformative and visionary plan. ATAP is a game-changer for Auckland commuters and the first-step in easing congestion and allowing Auckland to move freely. I believe this ATAP package marks a significant step in building a modern transport system in Auckland. ATAP accelerates delivery of Auckland’s rapid transit network, with the aim of unlocking urban development opportunities, encourages walking and cycling, and invests in public transport, commuter and freight rail and funds road improvements.
